We all know that black and white are the perfect duo, so why not add a little sunshine to that dichromatic color scheme? To brighten this chic and sophisticated space and enhance the Carrera marble fireplace, designer Joseph A. Berkowitz pulled in a collection of vibrant yellow vases. Hints of yellow from the artwork are heightened, and the room instantly feels a wave of energy.

Poppy on Repeat

Wallpaper is back, and we love all the fun colors and designs you can add to a room with its repetitious patterns. Designer Stacy Garcia created this chic poppy design as the perfect backdrop for any contemporary living space. The bold teal pattern allows the furnishings to remain modest while it takes center stage. Do you fear a permanent wallpaper solution? Try something temporary and easy to remove to adapt to your ever-changing tastes. Image courtesy of Stacy Garcia

Nothing says color quite like a playful splash of tangerine against crisp white surroundings. To make these orange accents really stand out, designer Tobi Fairley paired them with a contemporary houndstooth pattern and sunburst mirrors to create one daring living room design.

Trip Around the World

Designer Katie Ridder mixed Scandinavian and Middle Eastern design influences to create a cozy and eclectic living space comprised of time-worn hues. Golden yellow, coral and rich red accents help capture the global, well-traveled look the designer was hoping to achieve through the Moroccan rug and mosharabi lattice panels surrounding the fireplace. Hints of royal blue across the floor and within the fabric panel really make the space pop. Photography by Erin Paisecki

Breaking Up Gray

Gray is still one of the hottest hues this year, and we love that it pairs well with almost every color. To add contrast to this mostly gray living room, designer Brian Patrick Flynn integrated a sleek white coffee table and playful pink accents into the design. Together, the two hues deliver just the right amount of vibrancy to this clean and sophisticated sitting area.

Chic and Green

Designer Tobi Fairley's sophisticated yet playful use of Kelly green stands out through her integration of a simple, neutral backdrop with hints of gold. And if you're looking for tips on mixing patterns with style, Tobi's the one to call. Look how she incorporates stripes, graphics and botanicals with ease in this elegant living space.

Stripes of Color

Don't forget the floors — it's the easiest way to add a temporary and playful punch of color to any room. In this sophisticated and preppy living area, a red, white and blue striped rug instantly spices up the entire color palette. An area rug is an interchangeable decor piece that's perfect for those of us that desire change every once in a while. Photography by Patrick Cline for Lonny Magazine

Drawn From Nature

When choosing the color palette for this sitting room, designer Linda Woodrum drew her inspiration from its coastal Florida surroundings. She chose a soothing green hue for the walls, along with lime-green accents and alligator prints, to seamlessly tie the entire look together.

Warm Tones

Looking to spice up a warm palette with some vibrancy? Look no further than your window treatments. Designer Ana Donohue added colorful ikat draperies to this eclectic living room to pull in the furniture's gold and chocolate tones. Patterned window treatments are an instant and eye-catching way to add color to any living space.
